“Ambush in the Upper-Room”
July 3, 2010
The dream began with my being on what I believe was the ground floor of my house/dwelling. I knew I had to go upstairs for some reason, to either retrieve something or to accomplish a task.
The “upstairs” was not merely on the second or third floor but when I arrived upstairs, I instinctively knew I was twenty floors up.
As I was walking from one room in to another, there was an ambush.
Unseen entities (knew there were two) came from both sides. In just a lighting flash of a moment, each grabbed my arms as though their hold upon my arms were as vices of steel, absolutely unmovable.
At first I saw nothing but
when I first felt these for lack of a better term arms, grabbing mine, I looked
down to see what appeared as florescent green arms encircling my own. At this
same time, a hand tried to cover my mouth but since my head was free, I was able
to pull my face from the hand and began shouting the name Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
It took about 3 to 4 times of saying His name and the attackers fled.
James 4:7 states, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
In the first encounter, I quickly learned of the Power in the Name of Jesus; within just a few times of saying that wonderful Name, the attack almost immediately ended.
Keeping that in mind, why is it then, when we are under attack, do we not use His Name more quickly and “if” we do why does it seem that deliverance is slow in coming.
Am I alone in this lack of understanding of how to respond to the onslaught of the enemy? With each passing day we see the hardship of injustice and calamities mount and we have become so impervious to the suffering that we say in our heart, “Oh well, a sign of the times.” We in many ways have come to be pacifists.
Are we really so defenseless or is there One who champions righteousness. Can we or can we not call upon the Name who has no shadow of turning, One who makes crooked ways straight.
Perhaps I am missing something here, am I being too simplistic?
We have been born in to a priestly tribe in the house of the King.
We have All authority and All privileges and All obligations to appropriate the things of God.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor
of the will of man, but of God. John 1:11-13 KJV
HaShem, The Name is always available to us; His seal is upon us,
And He has engraved your name upon the palm of His hand.
May all men hear and be drawn to that Wonderful Name, Jesus!
Blessings to you and your house,
